That was a very presentable PSA 2 with a little paper loss in the factory line on the back. I was in on that card at $6822 and was bummed it went that high. Every time I find one I would be happy to own I am anywhere for $800-1500 under what it sells for. I agree that $7655 was very strong.

Frankly, it just seemed like everyone was a bit trigger happy this go-around (myself included - I got way too attached to a Wild Bill Donovan and went 15% higher than I had targeted). Lots of cards going for a good chunk healthier than recent comps.

Might be people spending their end of year bonuses, might be new collectors starting to move into vintage, could be speculators on the high end.

I suppose the upcoming Heritage lots and the February block will show if this is a blip or the beginning of a sustained uptrend.
